And again there came the voice of the Son of the Father
most high, as it were the voice of a great thunder, saying: Lift
up your gates, ye princes; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting gates,
and the King of glory will come in. Then Satan and Hades cried
out, saying: Who is the king of glory? And it was answered
to them in the voice of the Lord: The Lord strong and mighty, the
Lord mighty in battle.

After this voice there came a man, whose
appearance was that of a robber, carrying a cross on his shoulder,
crying from the outside of the door, and saying: Open to me, that
I may come in. And Satan, opening to him a little, brought him
inside into his dwelling,20102010Hospitio. and again shut the
door after him. And all the saints saw him most clearly, and said
to him forthwith: Thy appearance is that of a robber. Tell
us what it is that thou carriest on thy back. And he answered,
and said with humility: Truly I was a robber altogether; and the
Jews hung me up on a cross, along with my Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of
the Father most high. I, in fine, have come heralding20112011Præconcitus, corrected to præconatus or
ans. Him; He indeed is coming immediately behind
me.

Then holy David, inflamed with anger against Satan,
cried out aloud: Open thy gates, most vile wretch, that the King
of glory may come in. In like manner also all the saints of God
rose up against Satan, and would have seized him, and divided him among
them. And again a cry was heard within: Lift up your gates,
ye princes; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting gates; and the King of
glory shall come in. Hades and Satan, at that clear voice, again
asked, saying: Who is this king of glory? And it was said
to them by that wonderful voice: The Lord of powers, He is the
King of glory.
